ADVISORY, SOAR, & PORTFOLIO

Advisory & SOAR

It's 11:15am!  Where should you be?  You should be in SOAR!

SOAR is an intervention time where students can get help from any one of their teachers. This time can be used to complete homework, finish a test, work on a project, study, or ask questions that didn't get answered during class time. It provides teachers an opportunity to work one on one with a student or a small group to help them meet the standards.  

SOAR meets two times per week, Wednesday and Thursday, from 11:15 a.m. to 12:05 p.m.

8th Grade Portfolio

The 8th Grade Interdisciplinary Discipline Portfolio (also known as the IDP or just the 8th Grade Portfolio) is a culminating project completed by all 8th grade students as a promotion requirement. It combines basic standards from each and every discipline, along with demonstrating technology proficiency, career exploration and planning for future choices. Students complete a total of 8 parts, one in each of their classes (Advisory, Science, History, Math, English, Elective and PE) along with the Portfolio Day presentation. The project starts each year after Thanksgiving Break and culminates in late April.
